"This error means there is a duplicate permission in Android Manifest. Not 
within just one app but the other app has it as well. For example when 
installing app with adb install, it shows what this -505 error means. So, first 
app will install fine, but when you install second app, this error is seen."

So another application you have installed is declaring a permission it should 
not declare. Can you install the app via adb to see what app is triggering the 
duplicate permission?

ok... after removing the tasker plugin... installation succeeded

I think... I dont need it. So this is no problem for me.

If I try to install the "OpenVpn Tasker Plugin" again... the error occurs 
during installation of it :-)

Thank you for assistance!

This error hasn't been fixed. I'm still running into it on Android 5.0.1 on my 
Nexus 6.

Although OpenVPN for Android does not declare this permission anymore that does 
not mean that one of the forks do not declare it. Do you have any other VPN 
provider app on your phone?

This error still exists, I'm seeing it on a Nexus 4 with Android 5.0.1.

@11 Can you look into adb logcat to see what error is logged?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Disregard that. I don't see the error on 5.0.1.

This error arises after the Android 5.0 lollipop update. This issue still don't 
have any sure shot method but you can try factory reset and clearing cache and 
data of Google Play store.
